I mine at BTCGuild and another pool but can't figure out where I would get more ROI.

I love BTCGuild interface but if payout emails were sent it would be nicer.

BTCGuild sends out a *lot* of emails as is due to Idle Miner alerts and Confirmation codes, which have made me fight to get the mail server stopped from being marked as a spammer on multiple occasions. BTC Guild sends 100-250 payouts per hour, and adding that to our outgoing email would basically guarantee most major mail providers would start marking everything as spam, or even worse, start blocking it from even being forwarded to their servers.

True that could be a big strain too. Maybe make it a selectable option? Maybe add it as an option silently and default setting for new users should be unchecked.

Yes, they/we. I use bitparking because of the many different alt-coins available...and they cash out into bitcoin at some point and it's a slightly better PPS plan, rather than my measly 2.67 GH/s wasted on a pool that pays squat for PPLNS or even PPS...There's too much hash to compete with on BTCGuild, so I can't waste my time on it going up against people with TH/s at their disposal.

That last line makes no sense. All things being equal, yes you will get a smaller cut, of many more blocks. They aren't competing with you, if anything, they are helping you

There is going to be a brief restart of the private server in the next few hours. Historically, most users on that server reconnect quite quickly, so it should be virtually unnoticeable. This restart is to link that server to a different bitcoind server until the new dedicated hardware for the private server arrives later this week. Recently the private server has been lagging a lot when new blocks hit [HDD speed bottleneck], causing a higher stale rate than what would be seen on the public servers.

Later this week the public stratum servers for BTC Guild will be extended from 3 US servers to 5 US servers in order to give a better balance of the load, and extra redundancy in the event of an attack. That upgrade will be completely transparent and users will not experience even a brief moment of downtime when the new servers are added.

This is what I like about BTC Guild, it's an absolutely professional service on every level.

That right there is good stuff! That right there is why BTCGuild is as big as it is. Keep up the good work Eleuthria.

I guess he is getting ready for the pools exploding Hashrate coming here soon.

Eleuthria: Are you looking at selling the BitFury USB Miners? (Sorry if its been asked befor)

Is BTC Guild your first or second pool? If its your first, that error isn't coming from BTC Guild. The error isn't something that my pool would generate, so I'm guessing your failover pool is having issues.
